OPERATION WITH TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM (WHEN INTERFACED)

The HF Series X-ray Generator has been designed for seamless operation with
either Siemens' MULTIX TOP Tomographic System or the Pausch CS 2000 Micro-
tome Tomography System. The tomographic exposure settings are set and con-
trolled using the tomography system's controls, with the generator providing a
display of angle/time setting. The kV, mA, etc., are made using the generator's
operator control panel in the same manner as for any radiographic procedure.
Refer to the operator's manual provided with the tomography system
for complete tomography system operation instructions.

NOTE: On Siemens Tomography Systems: If 30°/0.8s
is selected on the Siemens system, the generator display
will indicate 8°/0.8s. Disregard the 8° angle indication,
it is not the value used to determine sweep angle. How-
ever, the time setting (0.8s) is the actual value used to
determine the exposure time.
Tomographic Mode
The HF Series X-ray Generator Operator Control Panel (OCP) display will
automatically switch between "radiographic" exposure mode to "tomo-
graphic" exposure mode when the following operator actions are taken:
• A valid tomographic combination selection is made using the
tomography system's angle/time keys and
• The tomography system table receptor is selected (usually this
receptor is selected using the "TABLE" receptor key) on the HF
Series X-ray Generator operator control panel.
If the generator is in either Manual or AEC mode and tomo mode is acti-
vated, the Manual Tomo Mode screen will appear, as shown below:
